Great transcendent attribute technique!
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaobai's pupils shrank sharply, and his heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.
Great Transcendent… and an attribute technique at that—how can I possibly refuse?
If I can successfully cultivate a Great Transcendent attribute technique, how much stronger will I become?
Just thinking about it is terrifying!
The power to destroy the heavens and the earth… is not an exaggeration!
"Can you really provide a Great Transcendent attribute technique?"
Recovering from the overwhelming surprise, Su Xiaobai tentatively asked.
For someone at the peak of a martial general's strength, obtaining a Great Transcendent technique purely by chance was already remarkable. But to simultaneously obtain a Great Transcendent attribute technique? That seemed almost unreal!
Even though Su Xiaobai had cooperated happily with Dongfang Rou several times, he couldn't help but confirm the claim given the stakes involved.
Dongfang Rou shook her head, "but I know where to find one!"
"I knew your Base No. 15 couldn't possibly have so many unparalleled treasures—now even a Great Transcendent attribute technique? Turns out you're stringing me along!" Su Xiaobai said, feigning annoyance.
"Mr. Su, a Great Transcendent attribute technique is a treasure that even a Martial God would covet, willing to annihilate entire clans for it. Such a treasure, even if Dongfang You had one… he wouldn't feel safe holding onto it.
With a Great Transcendent technique, 'Thousand Miles to the West Art', Dongfang You already lived in fear, not daring to publicly cultivate it. He even imposed blood-activated locks to prevent its exposure, terrified it might draw the greed of powerful families or even Martial Gods!
If he somehow acquired a Great Transcendent attribute technique, Dongfang You would likely destroy it immediately, not daring to keep it. If even the slightest hint was discovered, his only fate would be death!
A person without strength, but in possession of a treasure, courts disaster.
For a powerless individual, obtaining such a treasure would only lead to their death and the treasure being stolen!"
"I swear to the heavens, I have no intention of deceiving you. I genuinely know where to find a Great Transcendent attribute technique, and as of now, I'm the only one in Base No. 15 who knows this information!" Dongfang Rou said firmly.
Su Xiaobai hesitated upon hearing her words.
Dongfang Rou's claim didn't sound like a lie.
Moreover, she had no reason to fabricate such a story to deceive him. Once her mother was rescued, her life would essentially be in Su Xiaobai's hands—life and death decided by a single word.
What's more, Dongfang Rou had always honored their agreements in past collaborations.
She had even given him a Great Transcendent technique before. To some extent, Su Xiaobai had already taken significant advantage of Dongfang Rou.
"All right, I'll agree to it!"
Su Xiaobai agreed directly.
The allure of a Great Transcendent attribute technique was simply too great!
Even just a lead or clue would be considered priceless to anyone!
However, Su Xiaobai wasn't agreeing solely for the technique—he was equally intrigued by the Otherworld Teleportation Array at Base No. 15!
Since Xiao Longyu mentioned Otherworld to him, Su Xiaobai developed a strong desire to explore it.
It just so happened that Base No. 15 had a teleportation array leading to this Otherworld.
This was his chance to experience firsthand the mysterious world filled with both crises and opportunities!
Not only that, Su Xiaobai had another thought:
"If possible, I could send my auto-hunting shadow and treasure-hunting goblin to the Otherworld as well. Wouldn't the rewards be astronomical?"
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
As a qualified 'merchant', maximizing profit was the ultimate pursuit.
With my current strength, having my shadow only hunt A-grade or S-grade fierce beasts was a waste. Instead, it can target SS-grade fierce beasts comparable to elite martial commanders, or even stronger creatures in the Otherworld!
Who knows? Maybe I can earn hundreds of billions in a single day.
Upgrading system functions will then be a matter of minutes!
Thus, going to Base No. 15 is a must—it's like killing three birds with one stone!
"Mr. Su, your kindness will never be forgotten!" Dongfang Rou said with gratitude.
"If possible, I'd like to head to Base No. 15 as soon as possible!"
"When do you want to leave?" Su Xiaobai asked.
"So soon?" Su Xiaobai frowned.
Three days wasn't enough time for him to significantly improve his strength!
"There's no time… Ten days from now, the Dongfang family will hold their annual sacrificial ceremony. On that day, they will publicly execute all family members who have committed crimes in the past year."
"I'm worried my mother might be among them!" Dongfang Rou said anxiously.
This family's 'recreational activities' are over the top… holding sacrificial ceremonies in their free time?
"Although Base 18 is the closest to Base No. 15, there's still a distance of over a thousand kilometers. Even at full speed, it will take us a whole day to get there. Time is too tight."
Rescuing someone isn't something that can be done on a whim.
The Dongfang family isn't a group of amateurs.
Thorough preparation is crucial.
"All right, three days it is!" Su Xiaobai nodded.
He had already made up his mind.
Three days later, they would head to Base No. 15. Once there, he would assess the situation before making a move. If things looked unfavorable, he wouldn't hesitate to retreat!
Su Xiaobai wasn't the type to risk his life for a treasure.
With all his cheats, the only thing he lacked was time.
With enough time, taking down ultimate martial commanders would be a trivial matter—why risk his life unnecessarily?
Dongfang Rou stayed home to care for Elder Feng, while Su Xiaobai began preparing for his grand plan.
For Su Xiaobai, saving someone was only a secondary goal; his primary goal was exploring the Otherworld!
The Otherworld was rich in resources, filled with limits humans could not surpass and heights they could never reach. Su Xiaobai couldn't help but be tempted!
If he could send his shadow and treasure-hunting goblin to grind in the Otherworld, the returns would be unimaginable!
To ensure the success of this plan, Su Xiaobai spared no expense in preparation.
"Sir, the total is 51.6 billion!"
The master of the Beast Treasure Pavilion personally handed Su Xiaobai the invoice with utmost respect.
Su Xiaobai's reputation had spread far and wide after his performance in the beast tide battle yesterday. The Beast Treasure Pavilion, being a semi-intelligence agency, was well aware of his feats.
Armed with 51.6 billion in funds, Su Xiaobai went on a shopping spree in the black market, purchasing vast amounts of materials for alchemy and forging. Read complete version only at novel⟡fire.net
He spent nearly 10 billion in one go before finally stopping.
Su Xiaobai threw all the materials into his alchemy furnace and forging furnace.
Perfectly crafted pills, still warm, and spiritual weapons glowing with spiritual light were rapidly produced, emerging every five minutes!
[One major point of contention is the concept of 'Martial King' surpassing 'Martial God', which some readers find hard to accept. The book already explains that before the Otherworld's appearance, human experts were arrogant and self-proclaimed gods. However, after the Otherworld emerged, Martial Kings easily overpowered Martial Gods, establishing a new realm above. Rest assured, I've planned a reasonable and coherent explanation to address this, ensuring no abruptness in the narrative.]
